Domestic (US) money transfer Fraud or scam New York

I was tricked into being hired by this work from home company. They called themselves -. The contact I dealt with was named - -, which is probably a fake name. They he told me they would pay for the expenses for me to start. A couple days later i received a check. I deposited the check which was addressed from another company ( -, and - ), and under instructions by my contact with this fake company I withdrew about - dollars and transferred it to this other person. This is a scheme and they took advantage of someone who needed a job. I want to know if i can retrieve this money back to pay back then bank when the check does not clear.
